Ronnie Coleman Broke His back. Unable To Walk

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

@((ReFleX)) Why not just weightless body weight squats?

 

[krackdagawd]

I had to stop them because of my hips but could have been a blessing in disguise

 

[raoulduke187]

just use proper form and don't overstrain yourself and you'll be fine

best approach if you're in it for the long run

Just seeing this thread and all I gotta say is YIKES!!!

get better Ronnie

Back Squats and Deadlifts tomorrow...this ones for you Ronnie

And if anything goes wrong...I got that health insurance on deck

 

[krackdagawd]

lol dudes on the coli like "see thats why I don't do squats and deadlifts" when they max is only 225.

ain't nothing but a peanut

I'm 6" 7 and 32 yrs old and because of my height I got all sorts of fukking back and neck and knee issues

I started feeling lower back pain doing squats , once with literally two 35lb dumbells and once with a plate on each side barbell...not even fukking heavy

And my form was solid, I stretched before etc

I think it just really depends on the person and their individual circumstances

I had to stop squats all together. It sucks because the leg press and machine squat just ain't the same but I'm trying to make up for it by doing high reps of body weigjr squats immediately after I do leg press or machine squats...so I still get my burn but more high reps

I really miss dead lifts. If anything I found it really helped my back but I got so paranoid I stopped it

@puppetmaster would like to talk to you

I'm looking up belts now. Can you recommend a good one that won't be broken after a few workout?

My gym has some so I just use the ones they provide.

Rack pulls and tbar rows work the back just as much as deadlifts do. Deadlifts are damn near a leg exercise. Your glutes, hams,hips, and spinal erectors are the main target muscles in that exercise. That's why gym heads who know what they're doing do them on leg day.

Sumo squats and box squats tend to work well for taller lifters

I tell people that all the time. I don't shame people who do it because it's get how you live. Like you said t bar rows and rack pulls can do the same thing.
